Default Car Value

How much money do you think I could get for my 2000 Audi A4 1.8T? The car has a PA reconstructed title. The engine was replaced and currently has 70,000 miles and the body has about 100,000 miles. Completely stock and no real major options. KBB for Excellent says $9,900 and $9,400 for Good. I would classify the car in Good condition. People have been offering me $4,000, which I think is awful. I would like $6,000. Is that too high?? Thanks.

Default depends on the history i guess

why is it a rebuilt title (extent of damage)?

who replaced the motor? (dealer under warranty..?)

a car with a swapped motor is worth less than a stock one IMO, and with a rebuilt title..even less.

Default consiering what is out there in the market you are asking way too much

I'm not trying to insult your car but considering what the market has to offer you can find your car without a salvage title for cheaper.

Default Re: depends on the history i guess

I was told that the car was in a minor fender bender, but one of the pulleys grenaded on impact. So, the car was totalled and sold at an insurance auction. The guy I bought it from fixed it and gave me all the receipts. Runs fine. I know that it's not worth the full KBB value, but $4,000 is a bit low or am I way off?

My friend just paid $6500 for a clean '99 2.8 with 91k. Solid car with a solid history.

"The car has a PA reconstructed title." I'd take the $4k and run.

Default Re: Car Value

I picked up my '98 1.8 4 years ago with 97k on it for 5200... and that is with a clean title but dirty ohio driving. 5 grand is still a fair price for your car, but you'll have to show the buyer some documentation on what exactly has been done to it (including maintenance since the wreck). 4000-4500 is about right when considering the title issue, but if it were me I'd probably keep it. What are you driving instead?

Default Re: Car Value

Well, I'm moving to Germany, so I don't need it anymore. I paid $4800 for it when I bought it a year ago, but I put $2,000 into it. Crank pulley and tensioner ($800) and TB ($800) and it cost me another $400 for PA to approve the car for transformation from salvage to reconstructed title.
